DETACHABLE-GAUNTLET GLOVE.

Patented Feb. 27, 1917..

Application filed August 9, 1915. Serial No. 44,473.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THoMAsK. HEIsn,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Columbus, in the county ofFranklin and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in Detachable- Gauntlet Gloves, of which the following is aspecification.

The invention relates particularly to that kind of gauntlet glove inwhich the hand portion is separable from the gauntlet for the purpose ofreplacing the hand portion when the latter is worn out or it is desiredfor any purpose to replace such portion. The gauntlet portion of a gloveis usually not subject to the same wear as the hand portion, and it isadvantageous to retain this portion when it is desired to replace theglove portion.

An object of the invention is to produce a gauntlet glove of the kindreferred to in which the ordinary glove in common use may be applied tothe gauntlet without the previous alteration of the glove by theaddition of fastening means thereto.

A further object of the invention is to provide a separable gauntletglove in which there are no loose and protruding ends or flaps at thejuncture of the glove with the gauntlet to catch on objects and torender the device unsightly. In addition to the foregoing advantagesapplicant also provides a neat and effective adjustable closure for theslitted portion at the wrist end of the gauntlet.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawingsforming a part of this specification. In said drawing,

Figure 1 is a perspective viewshowing the glove and gauntlet in attachedrelation and applied to a hand.

Fig. 2 is a detailed view of the wrist end of the gauntlet.

Fig. 8 is a sectional view on the line ac-w of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line y-y of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 5 is a sectional view on the line 2-2: of Fig. 1.

In the several views 1 designates the gauntlet portion of the glovewhich may be of the usual shape and material of such devices. 2designates the hand portion of the glove which may be of any ordinarycon struction as commonly supplied by the trade. The wrist end of thegauntlet is slitted a short distance at opposite sides as shown at 3 anda flap or closure 4 provided to cover the opening formed by the slit.The flap 4 extends a suitable distance on each side of the slit and isstitched to the gauntlet only at its inner edge along the line ofstitches 5, the outer edge 4 being entirely free. This constructionpermits a neat adjustment of the gauntlet to the glove wrist besidesclosing the slitted opening to keep out dust and cold. 6 designates aband or bands stitched at 5 to the inner side of the wrist portion ofthe gauntlet. The band 6 forms with the outer end of the gauntlet propera channel or pocket 7 to receive the wrist end of the glove.

In order to secure the glove to the gauntlet a series of fasteningdevices 8 are provided. These devices preferably consist each of twomating separable members, one.

a head member secured to the gauntlet proper, and the other a socketmember secured to the band 6. The head member is preferably .providedwith a penetrating point. To connect the glove with the gauntlet thewrist portion of the glove is first inserted in the channel or pocket 7and the penetration head members of the fastening devices 8 driventherethrough and lodged in the socket members. It will thus be seen thatmy invention provides for agauntlet glove with the gauntlet portionthereof of permanent nature and having the only necessary fasteningdevices secured thereto,

vand that any ordinary glove may be used without previous alteration bythe addition thereto of buttons, eyelets or other fastening means.

What I claim is 1. In a gauntlet glove a gauntlet having a band securedat its wrist end and forming therewith a pocket to receive the wrist endof a glove, and fastening devices each comprising cooperating memberssecured re spectively t0 the opposite Walls of said pocket, one of saidfastening members having a penetrating head to penetrate the Wrist endof a glove in securing the same to 5 the gauntlet.

2. In a gauntlet glove, a gauntlet having a tWo Walled annular pocket atits Wrist end to receive the Wrist end of the glove, one of said Wallsbeing slit and provided with a loose flap to lie across the openingformed 10 by the slit, and I fastening means to secure the Wrist end ofthe glove Within the pocket.
